Abstract

In this paper, we present a reliable algorithm based on the homotopy analysis transform method (HATM) to solve the linear and nonlinear Klein-Gordon equations. The Klein-Gordon equation is the equation of motion of a quantum scalar or pseudoscalar field, a field whose quanta are spinless particles. It describes the quantum amplitude for finding a point particle in various places, the relativistic wave function, but the particle propagates both forwards and backwards in time. The HATM is a combined form of the Laplace transform method and homotopy analysis method. The method provides the solution in the form of a rapidly convergent series. Some numerical examples are used to illustrate the preciseness and effectiveness of the proposed method. The results show that the HATM is very efficient, simple and can be applied to other nonlinear problems.
